CALHOOf HIGHWAY
GETS ATTENTION
Three Big Bridges to be Constructed
? on Boadt?Makes Fourth
Route.
Considerable progress has been
* made on the Calhoun highway since
its incorporation into the state system
by the highway commission and
reports from officers of the Calhoun
Highway association, which Is pro.
motlng the road, indicate that this
t road will be rapidly built and every
possible effort to speed up the work
will be made. This highway has now
been recognised by the Georgia and
South Carolina highway departments.
The route suns from Cheraw across
Chesterfield county to Lancaster,
thence to Chester, Carlisle, Whitmire,
Clinton, Mountville, Cross Hill, Coronaca,
Greenwood, Abbeville, Calhoun
Falls, Elberton and Athens, Ga. It
will probably reduce the mileage of
, the Bankhead National highway between
Raleigh and Atlanta by abou<
40 or 45 miles, and will be a strong
competitor for recognition as a short
route of the Bankhead National highway.
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the assiciation authority
was given for the development of a
branch line, Cheraw to Wilmington,
? N. C., which would give a short route
from Wilmington to Atlanta and the
West. This road will be a complete
top soil road early in 1922 across
Chesterfield county. Lynches river
bridge is now about to be built.
? Lancaster county expects to have
the road finished across that county
by the middle of 1922. A portion of
the road has been built In Chester
* eounty, but the section from two miles
west of Chester to Broad river has
liven for a bond issue which will promot
been built. Authority has been
given for a bond iBSue which will produce
funds to complete the route
when the bonds can be sold at par.
One township in Union county has
- also provided for a bond issue, with
which it will build the Calhoun highway
across the township where it
oomee within three miles of the Appalachian
highway, aready constructed
into Wfcitmire. 1

Newberry county requires only to
Improve the Appalachian highway
* .V- TT>_ !?, /? U'hltmlra
irum iuo duui cc i a v ci luhv u uiuuii?
* and to build one mile to the Laurens
county line. Laurens county is now
building, with a force of 85 laborers,
between Whitmire and Clinton, and
has already built the greater portion
of tthe road from Clinton to Mountrille.
This section has not yet been
top soiled, but wil be topsoiled dor.
lng the winter.
Laurens Cross-Hill highway will be
used from Mountville to old Cross
Hill. Thence the new road will
shortly be constructed to (Fuckett's
ferry on the Saluda river. A bill has
already been passed requiring Greenwood
and Laurens counties to bridge
the Saluda river at Puckett's ferry,
and funds will be provided at the
next meeting of the legislature for
the construction of this bridge.
Greenwood also contemplates early
construction to the Abbeville county
line from the city of Greenwood. Abbeville
is now building from the
Greenwood county line into Abbevill ,
and is surveying from Abbeville to
Calhoun Falls.
The bridge engineer of the Georgia
state highway department is making
surveys of Savannah river near Calhoun
Falls with a view to determine
upon the site of the Savannah river
k bridge.
All of the counties in South Carers
lina are pledged to the support of this
k highway and have made requests to
the state highway commission ror
recognition of the highway as a portion
of the state highway system. The
route is now eligible for federal aid
when available. Three large bridges
will have to be built on the Catawba,
T Broad and the Savannah, with a fairly
large bridge on the Saluda. Federal
aid will be sought for the three
. large bridges and possibly for the
Saluda bridge. Other smaller bridges
will have to be Improved later.
May Reopen Biext Tear.
It is highly likely that the route
will be declared open for traffic not
later than July 1 1922, though three
of the rivers will have to be crossed
by ferry at that time. It is the desire
of the association to have no tolls, but
to have free bridges and freej roads
t throughout ultimately. Tempoharily,
however, toll ferries will be depended
upon for the three large river crossings.
\
The Calhoun Highway associatioib
has several thousand members, and
is organised in local highway clubs
along the route, each local association
having a president, secretary and
treasurer, and vice president. There
ire county vice presidents, and also
state vice presidents for the states of
y Georgia and South Carolina, with a
general president and secretary and
treasurer. One-half the funds of the
^ local associations are converted into

Mothers Club Armistice Day Meeting.
The Mothers Club had a very interesting
program at the residence of
Mrs. Robt. Chapman Friday afternoon.
This being Armistice Day the first
selections were of patriotic type and
thoroughly enjoye.l by the members ]
of the Club and visitors. The pro- (
gram was as follows: (
Song?Star Spangled Banner. 1
On Flanders Field?Mrs. S. C. Gra- .
ham. I
The Marseillaise?Mrs. Stanley. i
The Unknown Dead?Mrs. Joe Llnd- , |
say. ]
Mrs. E. Walker Duvall gave a short
talk on the work of "The Dug-out" 1
Id. New York and asked our coopera- 1
tion to this end. i
Our regular program then followed 1
Which was very instructive and in. I
spiring to the members. The pro- '
gram was as follows: i
Paper, What the Child Means to <
the Parents?Mrs. McLeod. I
Poem, Baby May?Mrs. J. L. Ander- <
son. 1
Poem, Oh! Sleep My Babe?Mr3. J. 1
W. Malloy. 1
Poem, Choosing a Name?Mrs. S. 0. ?
Pegues. I
Poem, Hush Thee My Baby?Mrs. 1
Wilson McCreieht. 1
Song?America.
A social half hour was then enjoyed
and coffee and cakes were served.
So far the cooperative attitude of
the entire Club is to be commended
for they seem to realize that the success
of the organization depends entirely
on the continuous work of the
members as a whole. Their progress
thus far, demonstrates this fact. A
full attendance of the members is requested
at the next meeting at the
residence of Mrs. J. A. Spruill, our
president, on December the 9th.
o
Blanch Kinsey Class Entertains.
The Sunday School class of Mr.
Henry Wannamaker was most delight,
fully entertained at an oyster suppelast
Friday evening by the Blanche
Kinsey Class at the Town Hall.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with chrysanthemums, greens and pot
plants.
After a eeneral social feature the
guests were handed cards bearing a
number and they were invited to a
seat at the table bearing the corresponding
number.
Considerable amusement was created
in the novel way in which the mem
bers of the two classes were found
to be seated at the various tables.
After supper was served the follow,
ing program was rendered:
1. Music?Mise Christine Davis.
2. A talk?Mr. L. C. Wannamaker.

directors from each county traversed i
by the route. Several points on the
route have never as yet organized,
but notwithstanding this deficiency in
